To make it easy for everyone....
There should not be many AC users that run the latest
versions of
everything.
I will keep the sorting of the syscalls as they are - no
change required
upstream.
People who want new kernel or new glibc will then also need
to update
the other. DOT. POINT. END.
Kernel 2.6.23 will also require new aboot.... So many
things....
Since online upgrading from AC3 to FC8axp will not be
supported anyway
(because of various reasons and now 2 more of them), I can
live with
that decision finally.
Thx everyone...
Best,
Oliver
